stay away, all of you
with all the things i cannot bear
stay away
all of you
with all the things i cannot bear
your excruciating care
and your silence
like i need you
not to say a word
like i need you
at all
tiptoeing around me
rather than walking to me
or with me
or behind me
you shoot me
sad smiles
instead of real ones
and your gentle hand
on my trembling knee
feels cold and bleak
when it’s my eyes
you do not meet
gentle pity
you wear it
on your sleeve
though you must know
it is scorned by me
and while i might mistake
your hesitant decency
for kindness
i must believe
it may just be a symptom
of your cruelty

I want to erase the tears of all those who trusted in hope; I want them to be left with a smile on their faces.
